A goal for swine farming is the improvement in the number of live-born and weaned piglets per sow. Hence, the effect of parities should consider the correlation between the component traits of reproductive performance, weaning, and duration. Sows were housed in farrowing pens (W 2.2 ${\times}$ D 1.8 ${\times}$ H 1.2 m) on a partially slatted plastic floor. Twenty sows used in this study were between the first and sixth parity in gilts (P1), parity 2-5 (P3), and parity 6-9 (P6). Data collection by parity was classified into three categories: (1) reproduction performance (gestation length, total number of piglets born, number of piglets live born, number of piglets stillborn, total piglet birth weight; (2) weaning traits (weaning period, number of piglets weaning, total piglets weaning weight); (3) duration traits (farrowing duration, placenta expulsion duration, time from last piglet to first placenta, average birth interval, and tail wagging behavior). Gestation length was higher in P6 than P1 and P3 of different parity sows. The maximum value in P1 and P3 was 117 days, but the median value in P6 was 117 days (p < 0.05). The total number of piglets born (p = 0.113), number of piglets live born (p = 0.118), number of still piglets born (p = 0.151), and total piglet birth weight (p = 0.117) were not affected by parity. The number of live piglets was higher than the other parities by an average of $15.6{\pm}2.1$ in P1. The duration of farrowing was the lowest at 22.2 min in P6, but the maximum value was 42.2 min more than other parities (p = 0.355). Weaning traits of sows also did not differ significantly (p > 0.05), but the weaning period from P1 was lower than that of the other parities (p = 0.170). The number of piglets weaned was 10 heads on average in P1, P3, and P6 (p < 0.05). However, the mean values of the total piglet weaning weight (p = 0.377) of P6 (62.0 10.4 kg) were higher than those of P1 (54.9 10.2 kg) and P3 (58.4 13.6 kg). The placenta expulsion duration was higher in P6 than that in P1 and P3 (p = 0.447). The time from the last piglet to first placenta was be lower in P3 than that of the other parities (p = 0.206). The average birth interval was higher in P3 than that of the other parities (p = 0.156). Tail wagging (count) behavior was higher in P6 than in the other parities (p = 0.065). The data showed that the reproduction performance, total piglets born, and weight were higher in the gilts group, and higher in the weaning trait than that in the P6 group. This study examined the relationship between reproductive performance, birth interval and tail motion according to sow parity. Regarding duration, farrowing duration was lower in P6 than that in the other parities, but placenta expulsion and tail wagging were higher in P6 than in the other parities. Therefore, it is possible that the results from these sows could be used as basic data for effective farm management.

Some CMP gathers acquired from shallow marine seismic reflection survey in offshore Korea do not show the hyperbolic trend of moveout. It originated from so-called swell effect of source and streamer, which are towed under rough sea surface during the data acquisition. The observed time deviations of NMO-corrected traces can be entirely ascribed to the swell effect. To correct these time deviations, a residual statics is introduced using Genetic Algorithms (GA) into the swell correction. A new class of global optimization methods known as GA has recently been developed in the field of Artificial Intelligence and has a resemblance with the genetic evolution of biological systems. The basic idea in using GA as an optimization method is to represent a population of possible solutions or models in a chromosome-type encoding and manipulate these encoded models through simulated reproduction, crossover and mutation. GA parameters used in this paper are as follows: population size Q=40, probability of multiple-point crossover P$_c$=0.6, linear relationship of mutation probability P$_m$ from 0.002 to 0.004, and gray code representation are adopted. The number of the model participating in tournament selection (nt) is 3, and the number of expected copies desired for the best population member in the scaling of fitness is 1.5. With above parameters, an optimization run was iterated for 101 generations. The combination of above parameters are found to be optimal for the convergence of the algorithm. The resulting reflection events in every NMO-corrected CMP gather show good alignment and enhanced quality stack section.

개느삼은 한반도의 일부 지역에 제한적으로 분포하는 특산식물이며, IUCN Red List의 'Endangered'로 지정된 희귀식물이다. 본 연구는 자생지의 환경변화로 쇠퇴 위협이 있는 개느삼의 분포 패턴과 개체군 구조를 조사 분석하여 향후 개느삼 개체군의 동태 및 지속성 파악을 위한 기초 자료 활용에 목적이 있다. 개느삼 개체군의 특성을 파악하기 위해 양구, 춘천, 홍천 3개 지역에 각각 2~3개의 대방형구(20m×30m)를 능선을 기준으로 설정하고, 대방형구 안에 4~7개 Transect상의 소방형구(1m×1m)를 2m 간격으로 각각 10개씩 총 530개를 설정하여 출현 개체 수 및 결실 개체 수, 개체 높이 등을 측정하였다. 확보된 종발생정보를 IUCN Red List ver 3.1의 평가기준 B를 적용하여 기존 IUCN에 평가된 범주와 비교분석하였다. 조사된 세 개 지역의 평균 개체 밀도는 3.47본/㎡로 나타났으며, 지역별로 양구 3.95본/㎡, 춘천 3.37본/㎡, 홍천 2.87본/㎡이었다. 한편, 개체군의 결실률(결실 수/개체 수)은 0.0038으로 전체 출현 개체 1,837본 중에 7본만이 결실된 것으로 나타나 생식생장(sexual reproductive) 보다는 영양생장(vegetative reproduction) 비율이 매우 높을 것으로 추정된다. 조사된 세 지역의 소방형구 개체 밀도의 분포 경향을 분석한 결과, 개느삼은 수관 열림이 높은 산지 능선을 중심으로 수관 열림이 낮은 숲 중심부로 갈수록 개체 밀도가 감소하는 경향을 보여줌으로써, 광량이 개느삼 개체의 생육에 매우 중요한 요소일 것으로 추정된다. 한편, 방형구내 출현하는 전체 개체의 높이를 분석한 결과 2.3~68.5cm로 나타났으며, 평균 20.1cm로 조사되었다. 개체 높이를 바탕으로 개느삼 개체군의 stage-structure를 분석한 결과 15~20cm를 기점으로 개체 높이가 높아질수록 점차 출현빈도가 감소하는 경향을 보여주었으며, seedling으로 추정되는 10cm 이하의 개체들의 비율도 매우 낮게 나타남으로써 향후 모니터링 자료를 바탕으로 개체군의 지속성에 대한 분석이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 한편, 확보한 종발생정보를 바탕으로 산출된 점유면적은 200㎢로 나타나 IUCN Red List 기준(criteria) B 적용 시 EN 범주를 충족하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to observe egg and larvae morphological development of carp to obtain basic data for resource conservation and taxonomic research. Brood carp used in the research (total length 67.3-75.5 cm, average $71.0{\pm}3.45cm$) were bred in a circular rearing aquarium ($600{\times}300{\times}100cm$) using a running water system from January to July, 2015. Breeding water temperature was maintained at $23.0-25.0^{\circ}C$(average $24.0^{\circ}C$). Fertilized carp eggs were translucent and globular, and their size was 1.75-1.89 mm (average $1.82{\pm}0.06mm$). Blastoderms formed 10 min after fertilization and reached the two-cell stage 30 min after fertilization. Then, the embryo turned dark and exhibited melanophores, and blood started flowing from the heart across the egg yolk at 42 hrs and 50 min after fertilization. Hatching began 70 hrs and 26 min after fertilization larvae emerged through the egg membrane, starting from the head. The length of prelarvae immediately after hatching was 5.23-5.38 mm (average $5.31{\pm}0.11mm$) the mouth and anus were closed, and the pectoral fin was formed. Postlarvae at 18 days after hatching had a total length of 11.9-13.9 mm (average $12.9{\pm}1.40mm$), separate anal fin and back membranes, and fin ray. Juveniles fish at 35 days after hatching had a total length of 29.9-30.2 mm (average $30.1{\pm}0.13mm$), with the body covered with scales, and the same number of fin rays, color, and shape as their broodstork.

The purposes of this study are to assess pig farmers' preference for highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) vaccine, and estimate the cost and benefit of PRRS vaccination in Vietnam. This study employed an integrated epidemiological and economic analysis which combined susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model, choice experiment (CE) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA) together. The result of SIR model showed the basic reproduction number ($R_0$) of PRRS transmission in this study is 1.3, consequently, the optimal vaccination percentage is 26%. The results of CE in this study indicate that Vietnam pig farmers are showing a high preference for the PRRS vaccine. However, their mean willingness to pay is lower than the potential cost of PRRS vaccine. It can be considered to be one of the reasons that the PRRS vaccination ratio is still low in Vietnam. The results of CBA specified from the whole society's point of view (Social perspective), the benefits of PRRS vaccination are 2.3 to 4.5 times larger than the costs. To support policy making for increasing the PRRS vaccination proportion, this study indicates two ways to increase the vaccination proportion: i) decrease vaccine price by providing a subsidy, ii) provide compensation of culling only for PRRS vaccinated pigs.

This study was conducted to investigate the skeletal development of bullhead torrent catfish, Liobagrus obesus larvae and to utilize them as basic data for the taxonomic study of Liobagrus larvae. Skeletal development was observed by being divided into cranium, visceral skeleton, shoulder girdle bone, pelvic girdle bone and vertebra. On the first day after hatching, the pre-larvae had an average total length of 7.92 mm, and a line-shaped parasphenoid ossified in the cranium. In the jaw bone, the dentary supporting the lower jaw and the maxillary supporting the upper jaw were ossified. In the anterior abdominal vertebrae of the vertebra, seven centrums began to ossify and five neural spines ossified simultaneously. On the 3 day after hatching, pre-larvae had an average total length of 8.95 mm, and the prefrontal ossified in cranium. The number of abdominal vertebrae was increased to 14, and three parapophysis developed from the front side. On the 24th day after hatching, post-larvae had an average total length of 15.2 mm and the epural bone ossified in coccyx. The parhypural bone was ossified, and ossification of coccyx and pelvic girdle bone was completed. On the 30th day after hatching, the average total length of the juvenile was 17.8 mm, and the ossification of cranium and visceral skeleton was all completed while the preorbital and three suborbitals were ossified in the orbital region of the cranium.

Objective: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content plays an important role in meat quality. Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes related to pig IMF, especially using pig populations with high IMF content variation, can help to establish novel molecular breeding tools for optimizing IMF in pork and unveil the mechanisms that underlie fat metabolism. Methods: We collected muscle samples of 453 Chinese Lulai black pigs, measured IMF content by Soxhlet petroleum-ether extraction method, and genotyped genome-wide SNPs using GeneSeek Genomic Profiler Porcine HD BeadChip. Then a genome-wide association study was performed using a linear mixed model implemented in the GEMMA software. Results: A total of 43 SNPs were identified to be significantly associated with IMF content by the cutoff p<0.001. Among these significant SNPs, the greatest number of SNPs (n = 19) were detected on Chr.9, and two linkage disequilibrium blocks were formed among them. Additionally, 17 significant SNPs are mapped to previously reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of IMF and confirmed previous QTLs studies. Forty-two annotated genes centering these significant SNPs were obtained from Ensembl database. Overrepresentation test of pathways and gene ontology (GO) terms revealed some enriched reactome pathways and GO terms, which mainly involved regulation of basic material transport, energy metabolic process and signaling pathway. Conclusion: These findings improve our understanding of the genetic architecture of IMF content in pork and facilitate the follow-up study of fine-mapping genes that influence fat deposition in muscle.

전세계적으로 널리 복용되고 있음에도 불구하고 인삼이 중추신경계에 미치는 효과에 대한 세포수준에서의 증거는 별로 없다. 따라서 본 연구자들은 지금까지 보고된 30여종 이상의 ginsenosides 중에서 인삼 효과의 주된 활성성분으로 알려져 있는 Rb1과 Rg1을 이용해 해마신경전구세포의 분화와 증식에 미치는 효과를 연구하였다. 증식실험결과 Rb1과 Rg1을 3일 동안 해마신경전구세포에 처리하면 대조군에 비해 BrdU(+)세포수가 상당히 감소한 반면에 분화조건에서 Rb1과 Rg1을 처리했을 때는 신경세포특이적인 MAP2 단백질을 발현하는 세포수가 증가하였다. 전구세포의 신경세포로의 분화 결정에 관여한다고 잘 알려져 있는 proneural 전사인자인 Ngn1과 Hes1 유전자의 발현양상도 대조군에 비해 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, ginsenoside Rb1과 Rg1은 해마신경전구세포의 증식을 감소시키고 대신 신경세포로의 분화를 촉진시킴으로써 해마신경발생에 관여함을 보여준다.
